The Morris Beach and Recreation Department is pleased to offer our Community a variety of recreational, social and travel opportunities.

We are very proud of our wonderful Morris Town Beach Recreational Complex which features a multi-purpose full size football and soccer field, an additional soccer field, a little league baseball / softball field and a basketball court. There is also a beach and picnic area located on the south shore of the largest natural body of water in the state of Connecticut, Bantam Lake. Also at the Complex is a beautiful pavilion which is available to rent for family or civic functions, complete with restrooms and several picnic tables. You will also find horseshoe pits and an additional out-building at the Complex.
